Abstract

The invention relates to a mobile irrigation apparatus (10) comprising: a wheel-mounted frame assembly supporting at least one sprinkler operated by a main control valve and adapted for movement in a specified direction across a field to be irrigated; a hydrant docking station (76) resiliently suspended from a frame, said docking station incorporating a valve actuator adapted to open a valve in a water hydrant (28) located along the path; a first substantially horizontal guide wing (72,74) extending forwardly of and angling upwardly away from said docking station (76); a second substantially horizontal guide wing (78,80) extending rearwardly of and angling upwardly away from said docking station (76); and at least one vertical alignment power actuator arranged to move at least one side of said docking station (76) in a vertical direction relative to said docking station frame in response to a height guide sensor mounted on said first or second substantially horizontal guide wings (72,74,78,80).
